[...altering here and there
for the readership....]
1st post

i liked what christine irene said earlier and did not
have a problem with it...
i thought the phone prank was a
s#$tty thing to do
in this time and felt good that
someone was making note of it.
there are a lot of young men/women
who see the issue as very cut-n-dry...
'listen to radiohead and b&s....hate bush...
and americans...i will get up on
a soap box for that' maentality
(maybe it was her radiohead comment -
who knows?)
there are all kinds of reasons to hate
the usa.

i am older and sense an otherness on sinister.
i read sparingly here and there.
i know that there are other realities at play
and that i don''t have a great deal in common
with a lot of the posters.
(i work-n-have debts-n-what not.)
there is some semblance of well wishing
and peace....and kindness, i.e.
posts on the spice cinnamon,
witty fashion advice, very good writing,
and what not
but underlying are these (and i will
say) young men....
who seem a little angry...or at best fussy...

we do all love b&s, see the genius, and
have gathered here...but i don't have to be
an anarchist or anti-american to hang and
will endeavor to enjoy it on some level.
i am writing without knowledge of what the
members of b&s themselves think of the
the world...but i don't think their views are in
lock step with the dixie chicks...or the
palestinians...(nor are mine)
or that each and every member of sinister are in some
symbiotic borg existence/mindset together...
